SUGULITE - PHYSICAL & METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Sugulite is named for the Japanese geologist who discovered the first specimens in 1944. The location of this first discovery was the Iwagi Islet in Southwestern Japan. The original Japanese materials were just tiny, yellow crystals with no gem value. In 1955 some dark pink crystals were found in India’s Central Province that were also identified as Sugilite. However, they were not of gem value either. More recently in 1975, the only known deposit of gem grade sugilite was found in the Wessel Mine in the Kalahari Desert. This area is known as the Kuruman Manganese Field. However, the deposit is 3,200 feet below the surface and due to the difficulty of removing it from such a great depth sugilite commands a high price. Sugulite helps with resolving conflict personal difficulties and helps group harmony. Enhances functions of pineal, pituitary and adrenal glands. Activates and balances brain hemispheres and strengthens the heart. Aids physical healing and purification of bodily systems.
